​Black Magic Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is a secret ingredient that makes these cookies only TASTE sinful, instead of actually BEING sinful. Black Beans. Yes, black beans. They may not be the traditional chocolate chip cookie you are used to, but if you need something that is chocolatey, could be gluten and dairy free, and actually is chock full of fiber and nutrients and good fats, then these are PERFECT! I WILL be making more to keep in the freezer.

DirectionsPreheat oven to 375 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.Combine black beans, milk, peanut butter, and olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth.Add in flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, and salt, and continue processing until combined and mousse-like.Stir in chocolate chips.Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet, about 9 cookies.Bake for 10 minutes.Let cool slightly, then put on a baking rack or new piece of parchment on the counter until they are cooled completely.Repeat with remaining batter.
